Before they were famous: Take a look at your favorite stars during their childhood

Have you ever wondered what your favorite stars looked like before they hit big? Back in the day, were they hotties or flops? Here is a compiled list (of course with pictures) of Japanese celebrities when they were young and nobodies. Compiled below are pictures of models, actors, comedians, singers, idols and Johnnys and more; and what they looked like when they were teens/children. Did they change? Get a good surgeon? Or remained the same? How about those yankii brows some of those girls are sporting? Please join me as we have some laughs and some tears at what our faves looked like before they were famous. Also feel free to add any missing people in the comments.

since i've always followed johnny's artists, it was really interesting to see younger images of female actresses and actors. and Gouriki Ayame totally caught my attention, she should grow her hair longer like that again. D:

I´ve seen all JE pics already, for some reason these are widely spread everywhere...

I´m amazed at how some people look exactly the same when they where 10 and now LOLMukai Osamu, Shirota Yuu, Oguri Shun, Koyuki, Oshima Yuko, Nagasawa Masami, and others look so alike.some others WOW thanks for growing up

Its not surprised to see johnnys children era. Bcos i followes them since they were junior. Still adorable til now. Haha it more interesting bout Jrockers child photo XD too much change bcos now they have heavy make up haha. And this my 1st time to to see actreess children photo.. They have natural beauty not like a korean actrees who have lots surgeon

Looking at Johhny's children era is interesting to me. My personal favorite is how "old man Ohno" was so pretty when he was young! I'm a bit thankful I didn't see Ninomiya posted; his permanent-youth gives me the creeps XD

The J Rockers photos freakin' shocked me. Those pictures have probably been around for a while, but... this was the first time I saw Reita's nose; I always thought he sold it for crack or something.

Shingo's growth is a magical thing, srsly. He used to be this tiny, mousy kid with the squeakiest voice, then puberty happens and he transforms into a mountain bear, towering over everyone else. Bless him <3

many of them are pretty/cute/handsome since they were children. but, what make-up + hairstyle + stylish clothes + good lighting + better ability to pose + photoshop can do to some of them sporting a very different image from their childhood photo!!
